PREFACE To combat nutritional demand of continuous growth of world population, sustainable growth is desirable in agriculture productions and management. Technology application in Preharvest and Post-harvest operation of Agriculture appears as the only tool in augmenting nutritional requirement. Effective management of agricultural produces largely rest on how qualities and quantities are preserved during storage. An understanding of storage problems and storage technology is foremost important to balance population growth and meeting nutritional demand. The population in many countries particularly developing countries is increasing fast and that will continue to increase for some decades more. Countries designing for economic growth and development must produce surplus food grains to sideline various population nutrition problems. The surplus food grains of nations needs keeping facilities and care during storage. All over world each nation has its own national food policy and must adopt a comprehensive storage technology. The surplus storage and its mobilization is just as crucial a matter in the present era. There has been a few comprehensive books covering various aspects of food grain storage. An effort has been made to cover important aspects of food grain storage so that this book through light in giving a general idea on food grain storage.
